Cypress Vines (& Tuberoses)...

I was experimenting with taking photos tonight with only the patio light...and I just had to share them...:)

My post tonight is really about Cypress Vines, though...

Are you familiar with them? Such tough little plants; they sprout in about three days, and then they climb and climb...on anything available! Bright red is the most common (they're also called CardinalVine), but there are also white and bright pink varieties (you can see some pink ones in the photo above...)

We have them coming up EVERYWHERE...even in the joint lines in the patio concrete!

I have seeds I'd be happy to share, and if you live anywhere you don't get a frost until late fall, it's not too late to plant some this year...

Hi, thanks for visiting my blog and following. I am now following your fun blog as well. Those Cypress Vines are interesting. I don't think I have seen those around here in Arizona. I am looking forward to more of your interesting posts and beautiful photographs! Have a great Wednesday!

THanks for visiting and following me.... I, also, love your blog... very uplifting and fun! I know what you mean,,, I didnt have a cloche for the longest time and was dying to get one so I could join in the many parties one finds on blogland. I was thrilled to find mine in a local consignment shop!

I was so happy to have you visit. :) I didn't plant any cardinal vines this year but wish I had. I did plant some moon flower vines and they are just getting some buds on them. I am sorry about your petunias. I love sweet little petunias but boy if you miss one day of watering them in this intense heat they lose their leaves and look awful. My Picassos are the only ones still looking decent. Love that purple with the pop of bright green on them.

Hi, Thanks for stopping by and becoming a follower. I haven't been able to finish painting in my kitchen as I ran out of paint! My daughter will go to Parker and get more for me and I'll drive to Denver next week and get it. I most likely should have thinned the paint a little as it was rather thick, but I wanted to cover the doors. Good luck with your painting. Mine looks so clean and bright!♥♫

Beautiful photos. .You have a lovely blog. I am so glad you found me and left a lovely message. I am now following you. I will most definately come back to see more of the lovely things you blog about. Thanks for sharing your vines. Karie

I love your page! You take beautiful, beautiful pictures. I love gardening and I love your flowers. I don't have zenia's but you have inspired me - I want some of those colorful ones that look like they've been painted like fairies in my garden next year. And now - I'm going to be your newest follower. I just have to find that follow button!

Anne, a Cypress vine is new to me, your photos are fabulous! We both have gorgeous cats, I have a ragdoll, I kind of feel like a dance Mom living vicariously through my gorgeous child LOL! There is a picture of "Billie" in today's post, so nice to meet you!!

I love your thoughts and comments, and I read each and every one! Sometimes life gets in the way, though, and it takes me a while to respond...Thank you for understanding! ♥...Time is precious, and the time you've taken here is truly appreciated!
